yes i did but again, why do you confuse the details? i specifically said that my saw would outcut those two saws in that size wood with a 30 inch bar, not with a 32 inch bar with a 8 tooth. and that is also why i said it would be irrelevent, because its not the same size bar. anything else your confused about?

I didn't confuse anything. You said what you said, and your wrong, case closed. So you think your 044 with 7pin and 30" bar will beat a slinger 390 with 8pin and 32 in same wood. LOL LOL

why do you put words into my mouth, i never said the 044 would be faster with an 8 tooth rim with 32 inch bar, in fact a specified just the opposite. what i said is that if your going to be cutting softwood with a 32 inch bar you would be ahead to have a 70cc class saw, not because its faster, but becauseits lighter and it will get the job done, theres more fellers around here using 70cc saws than not. and most of them have 32 inch bars. what i said was that in order for a 90cc saw to become nec when cutting softwood, is when you put a bigger bar and go up to .404 gauge, so based off of that logic, i concluded that what the saw will be worked with, should be what its tested with, and most people who would run a 32 inch 3/8 bar and chain on a 90cc saw, would be using it in hardwood, but the test was done in softwood. do you see what im saying? or do you want to go off topic again and try setting another smokescreen up to deter from the point?
And again my point was valid, because if these saws were being worked in the pnw cutting softwood, they would be wearing either 36 or 42 inch bars and .404 gauge chains most likely and in that scenerio there would be different results. so what im saying is relevent.
 
Cool, another pissin' match. Too Funny! The main exception I take to BB"s statements, is him implying that modifying a saw is a frivilous undertaking.
BB, in the whole sceme of things, your career in the chainsaw world doesn't sound all that illustrious. Your maybe 23 right?

in 25 inch fir yes i believe it would. but again if you would read my post you would know that this was never any part of the point i was making, why do you insist on taking this off topic? and you do not know whether i am wrong or not, i will be posting video tomorrow. if you want to try and look smart, why dont you try challenging the actual point i was trying to make? or do you want to talk more about the 044? and twist what i said? you need to learn how to pay attention to details.

I didn't put any words in your mouth you retard, show me where I did. I'm just quoting you??? What don't you understand. YOU SAID YOUR 044 WITH 30" WILL BEAT A SLINGER 390 WITH 32" AND 8PIN. AGAIN, THE SLINGER SAW WITH 32 AND 8 PIN NOT YOUR POS 044. IN THE SAME WOOD. UNDERSTAND.

im 20. and my career isnt as decorated as say a 40 yo but i have sufficiant experience with a saw considering they have been the only thing i have ever worked with. and if you want to have a legit argument against me or talk smack atleast get on the main issue, which isnt that i think mods are completely worthless, but that i think the testing was pointless because of the size of the wood, the fact it was doug fir, the fact that the bars were 32 inches with 3/8. and then the reasons i have for believing this, which is, around here in the pnw most 90cc worksaws will have atleast a 36 inch bar with .404 gauge chain, so thats what it should have been tested with if the test wood was gonna be softwood. the b&c setup would have been fine with hardwood. according to slingr himself the results would have been different.

Its pretty hard to pay attention to you I admit that. And no I don't believe your 044 will beat a slinger 390 in any wood.

Why bother run 404. its pointless. I don't think you'll find that the norm is 404 chain. But I could be wrong there. Who here runs strictly 404 on 90cc plus. I don't.

Your a 20 year old, that cuts firewood. That explains allot. I thought I knew it all at 20 as well.
 
i think your a retard because you said that i said my 044 would beat those saws with a 32 inch bar, that is not accurate, so yes you were inventing words. you gonna start UNDERSTAND? idiot.

Man are you really that stupid. I never said your saw was wearing a 32" bar, I said that slinger saw was. Maybe you better go back to school and learn how to read. 2" of bar length isn't going to make a ##### of of difference.
 
Ya, you said your 044 would beat those saws in that exact wood.

okay you want to know where you put words into my mouth? you said this replying to a statement i made saying that i did not say my 044 would beat either saw with 32 inch bar. and you made that statement. so the statement above being true = i did say my 044 would beat those two saws, but not with the same bar, which you were insinuating.

your the idiot who cant seem to understand that this is totally not even the point, not even the topic, your trying to run from the real point im making because you have no grounds for argument with it. your little smokescreens.

edit = and why would you care what i think my 044 can do? im posting a video tomorrow, so why are you even running your mouth about it? punk. try talking about what this is all about if you want to run your mouth.

getting tired of all the smokescreens, trying to run away from real issues.

So what did you say? Now I don't even know, you've said so much crap. You said your 044 could beat them, I say no way no how, in any situation, whatever bar length you choose.
 
a saw that size racing with a lil 32 inch bar with 3/8 chain in dry doug fir is pointless.. if you want to really understand which saw is stronger you need to put a real bar and chain on the saws, or dip that 32 inch b&C into some hardwood. this video means absolutely nothing, my 044 with a 30 inch bar would beat either one of those in that particular wood.

??? I say no. That's my vote.

Now go run your mouth some more please.
 
Both saws looked pretty darn close, as for which one ya like, take your pick. Nice vids.:D

Yes, they are close in speed with the Husky being a bit faster, as always..
Then the 390 is also lighter, smoother and has better filtration.
Now I will look at slinger's next vid, the 460 vs the 372, but I think it will be
the same story there.
 
Why bother run 404. its pointless. I don't think you'll find that the norm is 404 chain. But I could be wrong there. Who here runs strictly 404 on 90cc plus. I don't.

i cut firewood, but i also have thinned timber, and pruned fruit trees for six years.
and no its not pointless to run a .404 a .404 has as much of an advantage over the 3/8 as the 3/8 has over a .325. most logging outfits in the PNW use 70cc saws for most cutting and most run 32 inch bars, so the 90cc saws they use will have longer bars 36-42 and generally be .404, and these saws are used for stuff that a 32 inch bar wont handle. understand? why does me saying this make me a bad guy? its how things are. so i figure the saws should be tested as such, so when a 90cc saw wears a 32 inch or smaller bar with 3/8 it isnt used around here to fall timber, it will most likely be used in hardwood. so the tests should go a long those lines, just to be more realistic. this is all i am saying, and i have been attacked the whole time for simply stating this. also by me saying this im not saying anyhting negative about slingr saws im just stating that its not really a fair assesment. and if you wonder why i say its not fair, well because if you step up to the larger bar/chain the 660 will be faster than the 390, well if you dip that 32 inch bar into hardwood, the results may very well lean the other way, this is the whole point im making.

BARKY BARKY BARKY YAP YAP YAP BARKY BARKY BARKY YAP YAP YAP , :dizzy: hey barky, forcing both saws in that wood does replicate to some degree to them being in bigger wood or harder wood. After youv'e had your napp in ya kennel, have a think about it, wont ya.

Hey dummy!

hey any of you who have criticized me about what i have said on this thread, you better back it up, cause i have given good reasons why the videos mean nothing, and its odd how silent you guys are, if im wrong then prove it. cause right now i think your all a bunch of chicken ####s

Remember what we told you a couple of weeks ago when you were running your mouth in the Logging Forum? And we beat the crap out of you for it? And you apologized?

We told you that if the whole crew tells you that you're wrong you are wrong.

Now shut up and go watch some Axe-Men reruns or something.
